  We can do anything if we do it together.

  While this fact is indeed incredible, there's still one more fact about Philip Glass that amazes me even more:

  
  

  "It’s a living: Despite smash success of 1976 performances of “Einstein on the Beach” at the Metropolitan Opera, Glass and co-creator Robert Wilson were left with a $90,000 debt after spending $900,000 to create the work. Glass returned to his day gig of driving a cab. One day a sharply dressed woman got in and noticed the name on the registration: “Young man,” she said. “Do you realize you have the same name as a very famous composer?”"

  “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”

  I actually knew all of this, but I'd basically forgotten it until you all reminded me. So thank you all.

  
  

  Loosely related: Conceptual artist Walter De Maria was a member of the touring line-up for Lou Reed's novelty group The Primitives back in the early '60s. Filling rooms with feet of earth, drumming in small clubs—same difference.
